State, or the locality receiving planning assistance shall make
such contribution, the Department of State Planning may supply
such contribution or any part thereof. Whenever the Department
of State Planning is requested to render financial assistance to
a regional, metropolitan, county, municipal or other local
planning agency, the Secretary of State Planning shall first
consider the adequacy and competency of the particular agency.
All local governments, instrumentalities or planning agencies
receiving financial or other planning assistance from the State
shall at the request of Secretary of State Planning submit copies
of their planning budgets for planning purposes to him. He may
also require an annual audit of their financial operations
related to planning by the [State auditor,] LEGISLATIVE AUDITOR
or by auditors or accountants legally qualified to perform
municipal audits. When a local government, instrumentality or
planning agency receives financial or other planning assistance
from a federal agency, the Secretary of State Planning may accept
such federal agency's audit.
